A printed slip laid in: "Immortality proved, by phenomena that were witnessed by hundreds, in the town of Sullivan, Maine, in the year 1800. Published by an eye-witness, the Rev. Abraham Cummings, a man eminent in learning and piety -- a graduate of Harvard University. Republished, verbatim et literatum, by J. L. Lovell, Yarmouth, Me."
This edition is 80 p. The title and contents are identical to the first edition (1826). The errata contained on the last unnumbered page of the 1826 have not been corrected in the 1859 edition. It appears that not all copies of the 1826 edition included the errata slip.

Book Details
First Sentence
"Among the opinions of the present day, which render it neither clear nor dark, is that of materialism, which maintains the position that all exercises of the mind are the exercises of matter more or less refined and organized: Therefore, when this material organization ceases, all cogitation must cease: Body and soul, life and intelligence die together. Thought, and the capacity of thought have no existence between death and the last day. Now if this position and inference be true, the doctrine of Spectres is overthrown at once. Sure we may be that what never exists can never really appear, however I may be deluded by my own imagination, or the artifice of others. This position therefore, before we proceed, demands particular discussion."
